Black
paper is the primary ground and substance of my current
work.
Blackness essentially suggests the absence of a source
of light and the notion of void. Its nature evokes the
limits of the visible.
During the manufacturing process, I have the handmade
paper blackened with coal dust. This process initiates
the step of empowering the material for the ongoing
work. The combination of black pigment and cellulose
atomizes surrounding light, transforming it into a delicate
shimmering, thus creating a subtle experience of pure
materiality. The further introduction of fine color
pigments to the black paper in turn yields its own particular
texture: a process, which inextricably interweaves transparency
and color; and fragility and strength.
Like
an ongoing experiment, there is the approach to display
the works in series as ever so many declinations of
basic emotional positions. Life and art are situated
between cultures, crossing borders, intersecting at
cross-cultural pathways: process of change, fluctuation
and spatial-geographic traceless-ness, interdisciplinary
paradoxes, wordless and non-conceptual messages simulating
unlimited virtual variety.
